This is the emissions system warning light, commonly referred to as the "Check Engine" light.
Please read on.

The information below was complied by me, it explains what causes the check engine light to come on and the process of finding the cause.

When the Check Engine light (or Service Engine Soon) is turned on, the systems computer control unit (called the ECM) has sensed a fault in the electronic controls of the engine and/or the emission system. When this happens you will seldom feel the car engine run any different. There are about 50 possible system faults. To find out which one is causing a problem have the system scanned by a local shop with a MB compatible scan tool.

    Nothing to do with engine at all! This is a yellow light where the other indicator lights are located, but not the check engine light which is separate altogether. Thanks

    The other yellow light is the "ASR" (accelerator slip regulator) system warning light. It is an early form of traction control.

I have problem with remote control, my remote control gives me blue light to switch the dashboard on but there is no lights coming on the dashboard. what is the problem

Hi, your remote has probably lost its coding. If you have the owners manual check page 65 learning additional remotes. If not do the following 1. Plug in the 6 pin hopped coded plug to control unit under drivers seat. 2. Press unlock button twice to disarm. 3. Press learn button on hopped coded plug. this erases all pre learnt codes. The led on dash should start blinking once per sec. 4. Press learn button on hopped coded plug again. The led on dash remains on for 4 sec. and then starts blinking faster. Ensure to do step 5 within 25 sec. 5. Press any button thrice on your remote that has a problem. 6. In response led on dash remains on for 4 sec and then blinks once per sec.This indicates that the remote has been learnt. Hope this helps.

Where do i plug in obd scanner on my 1991 merc benz 560 sec?

It's guaranteed to be within 36" (one meter) of the steering wheel, probably under the dash, probably VERY near the steering column, possibly behind a plastic panel you can remove with your fingers.

Hi, you cannot turn it off rather you have to reset it by following the instruction below...
  1. Turn ignition switch off, remove service connector cover.
  2. Connect (jump) the MES (Memory Erase Signal) connector (this is 2 pin connector wrapped on yellow plugged in the front of the under dash fuse box).
  3. Turn ignition switch on.
  4. SRS light will come on for 6 secs then go out, remove the jumper within 4 secs after the light goes out..

Dash light came on, I have a 2002 f-250 7.3 diesel, light has arrows with 2 rows of dots, upper right hand part of dash light area

That light indicates that it is time to replace your air filter. After replacing the filter you will want to reset the lamp. On the air filter housing is a filter indicator. It is a small (2" round) cylinder with red, yellow and blue colors on it, as well as 2 wires. Push in the rubber yellow cap on top of the cylinder until you feel a snap and see the yellow plunger in the cylinder move. This should reset the light.
I hope this helps

Fill up your tires and see if it goes away. It sounds more like a high beam indicator to me though.
